Top-Tier Superpower Student

"A piece of news!" Lin Tao replied succinctly.

As he answered Lin Tian, he stepped aside to make some room so that Lin Tian could also see the content of the news.

A piece of news?

What kind of news could be so captivating?

Lin Tian grew increasingly curious!

He craned his neck forward and asked, "Really? A piece of news had you all so engrossed? What major event happened?"

"Lately, there's been a gang of thieves in the city. It's said to be an organized group! They're very rampant and commit frequent crimes; many people have been robbed," Lin Tao pointed at the computer screen and said.

"The Public Security Bureau is specially reminding everyone to be cautious with their belongings when going out! Moreover, if you spot any suspicious individuals, immediately provide clues to the police."

"Here I was thinking it was something serious; it turns out to just be some thieves lurking around! Boring!" Lin Tian immediately lost interest upon hearing Lin Tao's explanation.

Just thieves, what's there to care about?

Wherever there are human settlements, there will naturally be those who steal chickens and dogs.

It's inescapable!

Especially in those economically developed and densely populated first-tier cities, the more prosperous and flourishing it is, the more people there are looking for a quick buck.

Hopefully, the police can crack this crime ring soon!

As Lin Tian mused to himself, he pulled out his phone, went to the balcony, and called home to remind his dad and mom to be cautious lately.

After that, he also sent a message each to He Qianqian and Bu Mengting.

By the time Lin Tian had finished sending the messages, Feng Jiabao and the others were still discussing the ferocious thief gang, chatting enthusiastically, spitting as they spoke.

Lin Tian didn't join in the discussion but instead sat down in front of the computer.

Lately, traveling frequently between the school and the city center, shuttling back and forth, was both a waste of money on taxis and inconvenient on buses, which was quite frustrating for Lin Tian.@@novelbin@@

He had millions in his bank account, a genuine tycoon!

As a tycoon, how could he not have a car?

That absolutely won't do!

And to buy a car, of course, he needed a driving license!

Lin Tian planned to first find some materials online, study them seriously, and after he was familiar, go take the test, and then buy a car for commuting.

"Once I've got the driving license and bought a car, visiting Qianqian will be much more convenient!" Lin Tian thought excitedly, searching for materials and watching tutorial videos on the computer.

******

Good news stays within walls, bad news travels beyond seas!

In just a half-day, the news of Lin Tian storming into the principal's office and beating up the principal quietly spread around the school.

However, most people scoffed at this news, not believing it at all.

Dare to hit the principal?

Must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!

But those who knew Lin Tian had no doubt about it.

The reason was simple, Lin Tian had a history!

After finishing the third lesson in the afternoon, many classmates surrounded Lin Tian, those he knew and those he didn't, all eagerly asking him to verify the matter of him beating up the principal.

"Lin Tian, is the rumor true?"

"Lin Tian, did you really burst into the principal's office and give him a beating?"

"Lin Tian, will the school expel you?"

With the incessant buzzing in his ears, Lin Tian was truly annoyed.

Just as Lin Tian was hesitating whether to tell the truth, a lifeline fell from the sky—his class advisor Liu Ming called again.

"Advisor Liu, what's up?" Lin Tian squeezed out from the crowd and found a secluded corner before answering the phone.

"Uh... do you have a moment now? Principal Zhu would like to discuss something with you!" Liu Ming was extremely polite, his tone tinged with a hint of reverence.

Lin Tian was quite surprised when he received a call from Liu Ming in the morning.

But this time, he wasn't surprised at all.

Hearing Liu Ming mention Zhu Ziqiang, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips; he already had a vague guess about what Zhu Ziqiang wanted to discuss with him.

"It might be difficult right now! I'm in the cafeteria eating; I just got my food and haven't even taken a bite yet!" Lin Tian feigned hesitation.

"Eating, huh..." Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly persuaded, "No worries! Just come to Hao Laiwu outside the school, Principal Zhu will treat you to a meal!"

Hao Laiwu is a restaurant.

Very famous and the highest-class restaurant around Wu'an University!

With Liu Ming putting it that way, Lin Tian stopped hesitating and nodded, "Alright then! I'll be there in about ten minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian turned and entered the restroom.

He looked around quickly, saw that no one was nearby, and immediately used his Level 1 Invisibility and Level 1 Flight Abilities, disappearing in the restroom.

...

Ten minutes later, Lin Tian appeared at the entrance of Hollywood.

The counselor, Liu Ming, had been waiting there early.

"Lin Tian, over here!" Liu Ming hurried over as soon as he saw Lin Tian, his face blooming into a chrysanthemum smile as he warmly ushered Lin Tian into Hollywood.

At the beginning of the school year, Lin Tian had kept a low profile.

Liu Ming, seeing only the halo of the top provincial college entrance exam scorer above Lin Tian's head, subconsciously thought that Lin Tian was just a well-behaved student dedicated solely to his studies.

But today, Lin Tian had severely beaten up Principal Zhu Ziqiang.

Only then did Liu Ming realize that he had been completely mistaken before!

At this moment, Liu Ming had only one thought: to take good care of Lin Tian, help Zhu Ziqiang resolve the current trouble, safeguard his job, and strive to get on Zhu Ziqiang's good side!

"Lin... Master Lin!"

As soon as Lin Tian appeared at the door of the private room, Zhu Ziqiang swiftly stood up from his chair, squeezing out a spring-like smile on his bruised, fat face!

Lin Tian did not ask why Zhu Ziqiang called him Master Lin.

He didn't need to ask that question!

"It must be Minister Chen!" Lin Tian was very sure in his heart, Zhu Ziqiang must have asked Minister Chen.

On the contrary, Liu Ming, hearing Zhu Ziqiang's address for Lin Tian, was both surprised and astonished, nearly falling head over heels at the door of the private room.

Master?

What master?

Since when had Lin Tian become a master?

Liu Ming looked puzzled at Lin Tian, but noticed that Lin Tian appeared quite calm.

Lin Tian did not explain; he just smiled lightly and said, "We are at the school now. Principal Zhu, please call me Lin Tian, or student Lin Tian."

The three of them took their seats.

Zhu Ziqiang poured himself a drink, stood up, and said, "Student Lin, I am really sorry about this afternoon! Here, I will penalize myself with three drinks. I hope you can forgive me!"

"I won't take it to heart! Besides, Principal Zhu already apologized this afternoon!" Lin Tian smiled but did not stop Zhu Ziqiang from drinking.

Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!

Zhu Ziqiang did not hesitate and downed three drinks in succession.

The small white porcelain cup, after three drinks, probably less than one ounce, was no challenge at all for Zhu Ziqiang, who was accustomed to alcohol.

"Actually, I had no choice. Old Master Wang is my teacher, and Wang Lei asked me for help—I couldn't refuse!" Zhu Ziqiang explained after setting down his cup.

"Principal Zhu truly values loyalty! Nowadays, not many people are as loyal as Principal Zhu," Liu Ming chimed in, smiling and praising.

Lin Tian smiled and nodded but made no comment.

Zhu Ziqiang did not get to the main topic, so naturally, Lin Tian wouldn't initiate it either.

Seeing Lin Tian's lack of reaction, Zhu Ziqiang gave up continuing on the emotional tack and decided to get straight to the point with Lin Tian.

"Student Lin, you must have heard about the rumors in the school, right?" Zhu Ziqiang looked at Lin Tian and slowly started talking.

"I've heard!" Lin Tian nodded. He had been cornered by people digging for the truth earlier.

"I hope you can help me!" Zhu Ziqiang looked at Lin Tian with a hopeful face, steeling himself as he said, "I know my request is a bit much, but I am the principal after all, and these rumors are damaging my reputation!"

"Help you? How?" Although Lin Tian had anticipated Zhu Ziqiang's purpose in seeking him out, he was still somewhat surprised to hear Zhu Ziqiang say it out loud.

Rumors are truly a headache!

Now that the rumors were already circulating, what could be done to solve this?

Even if Lin Tian came forward to deny the rumors, claiming he had never beaten Zhu Ziqiang, it wouldn't help. On the contrary, it would only convince people more.

Lin Tian really couldn't think of a good solution!

"It's quite simple, and it's beneficial for you!" Seeing Lin Tian open up, Liu Ming once again took up Zhu Ziqiang's cause, happily taking over the conversation.

"Beneficial for me?" Hearing that it was advantageous, Lin Tian was somewhat tempted.

Liu Ming nodded affirmatively, explaining, "A thug barged into the principal's office and injured the principal. Student Lin Tian, being there for some work, happened to witness this and rushed in to chase the thug away and rescued the injured principal!"

"I chased away the thug and saved the principal?" Lin Tian looked surprised.

"Yes!" Zhu Ziqiang nodded affirmatively, then added, "Student Lin's actions are commendable for their bravery; the school must award him!" Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Bravery?

Lin Tian was utterly surprised!

He could never have imagined that, although he had clearly beaten Zhu Ziqiang, he had now become a hero for his bravery, even transforming into the one who rescued Zhu Ziqiang from the thug.

"He got beaten up yet had to tough it out, and even had to present the guy who beat him as a hero for bravery; this poor old guy really has it tough," Lin Tian thought to himself with a smirk.

Despite despising Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian had to admit that Zhu Ziqiang was quite talented.

This was indeed the best solution!

"This is a good plan!" Lin Tian smiled in agreement.

Seeing Lin Tian's approval, Zhu Ziqiang's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, "So, you agree to help me?"

"Yes, I agree!" Lin Tian nodded, then glanced at Zhu Ziqiang and playfully added, "But, can I be brave a few more times?"
